Another sunny but cold day in Berlin.

Scott needed to remove some rubbish from hls storage area so a trip to the garbage tip was planned. Germany takes recycling very seriously and you need to sort everything carefully, and then unload it into clearly marked containers at the BSR (Berliner Stadtreinigungsbetriebe), the city’s official waste management and street-cleaning company. Scott collected a car, we packed it as best we could and then unloaded the rubbish as directed at the BSR. 

KaDeWe is an upmarket department store, an icon of Berlin’s luxury shopping and culinary culture. It has a wide range of departments, including fashion, cosmetics, home goods, electronics, and gourmet food. We wandered around, taking in the luxury goods and Scott purchased some new items of clothing.

The food court, up on the gourmet floors, has lots of different food options from classic German dishes to seafood, sweets, and drinks like champagne and wine. We found a table in the corner overlooking the west end of Berlin. I chose a goulash soup and a lobster tail for my dinner and Scott chose a roulade with red cabbage and potatoes plus a lobster tail.

We admired the view as the sun set. We then wandered some more through the gourmet food section.

The U-barn train was the chosen method of transport to get back to the apartment in Neukölln. 

It is getting colder each day so we are hoping it may snow again before I leave Berlin.

Guten Nacht
